Read it! They. Set You. Up. The family that I am “dreaming of”; I got you; in a sense. You know; family is forever and you have my forgiveness. It is kind-of comical in the end… Because this rift—always surrounding me. Although, I may not “agree” with some things; We can “agree to disagree”. But “don’t blame the person; blame the party”, Or, whomever authoritarian “redacted documents”. …Did, anyone, think that this charade Would “go-on forever-ver-ver-ver-ver…?" They’ve “got EVERYONE”. It’s. Not. Only. You. KNOW THIS. [I am non-compliant. I do not sign any paperwork.] ©2026Ellen Finn

Guilt Tripp--Ohhh--You KNOW ITT!!!
A little spark A little fluke A little tingling sensation, Behold an avalanche of emotions So love makes you cry, my friend. Precious moments go out of touch, Highly treasured, but Now trapped in thoughts (as memories)... Then, love makes you cry, my friend If love makes you cry, my friend. It's cos Love lives on desire as much as patience You should consider yourself lucky; Lucky to love, bold enough to share, Strong enough to hold... But again, if love makes you cry my friend, Fix it or LEAVE HONORABLY.

If love makes you cry, my friend
It was a nice warm day a little breeze that came my way kneeling on the ground smelling the flowers that surround as I watch the tiny bee hum. "Here little love, in my garden, you can come."

One day in summer's delight, When the sun was shining bright, I was writing poetry, While sitting under the cherry tree, I ate a cherry but strangely it was sour, When all of a sudden my diary turned  into a door, I entered the magical door to see, Which surprise was awaiting for me, That door opened into a wonderland, Full of candies and chocolate sand, It was like a dream and soon I should wake, Coz houses were delicious cheese cake, Then a cloud came near to me , Made of marshmallows dear to me, From coned mountains strawberry shake was flowing, This was all mind blowing, I saw there was a cherry tree too, Saying these cherries are also for you, I sat under it for a greed, That these cherries might be sweet, After eating them I felt dizzy, So closed my eyes and went sleepy, After a while when my eyes opened, I did smile but was saddened, To see that there was no more wow! The sun was also setting now, That nap had a great impression, I thought this should be a written expression, So "cherry tree " I wrote a poem, After that I went to home.

Cherry Tree
Have you ever missed someone when he is standing right in front of you? Yes, Minutes ago I was standing with you And I realized how I have missed you I miss your aura and humorous side I miss your random hugs and winks I miss seeing you smile from the heart I miss the part of you that allows me to be myself when I see you I miss not feeling judged when I am around you I miss the original US….

Bad days
He struggles and ponders, reads and re-reads, My markers fail before his eyes, his naivety takes over, A fruit? he queries, I burst out in laughter, Can be, I agree, but I await for more, he peruses and my ribs tickled, amused and curious, I stayed, at his innocence that shined. A Mango! he exclaims! No! I equally enthused 'A woman, a fruit, delicious and mystical, for a man who craves'. 'Oh'  the meek sigh, a tiny sound, concurred or dissent, I know not, In a flash came a verbal rebuff, back to his annoying self. He annoys and appeases, A friend I have known for years, Mine forever, I know for sure, no matter what he says.

Him, his surmise, Dear Ol' Andy
You're the bravest I've ever known I don't know what's hurting you to moan When life was a problem, You stood tall When there is a problem in life, You shall not fall Stay strong my friend Hard times are meant for the pain to end

Hard Times
The most painful goodbyes are the ones never said and never explained. A smile can hide the tears. A laugh can hide the pain, but nothing stops the longing to have you back again , our Momments of laughter will never be forgotten. It seems like it's a dream but it's reality.

Unforgettable Friend
In my arms lies a broken angel. Her golden halo strung from her neck. Her arms are covered in battle wounds, That spell out the hateful words that she always listened to. I gently brushed her blonde locks from her face and kissed her eyes, whispering to her, once again, another good night. I then gently laid her down in a bed of roses to let her sleep away the monsters. Those that haunted her innocence and stole her youth. Those that put her in the predicament of her broken heart

In Loving Honor of Joseph Wulf R.I.P. Christi Michaels  8-31-2015 ☆●♡●☆ Tonight my friend could not breathe Lungs ravaged from long ago Served our country as a young man Shoulders, hip and leg bones broke by the jungles below A Harley Man through and through JFD's became his Corps Never wavered in his allegiance to his country or his force One of the smartest men I have ever known Could recite passages from long ago abreast of topics from far and wide a history buff so knowlegable A brother to many, a father to one Devoted to all he loved A truer friend could not be had So very popular he was!! Joe was my protector as I was a wild young thing Was my confidant and chaperone starting at just 17 Accompanied the first date with my husband 30 years ago Gave his blessings that first night~ To my children he was Uncle Joe The older brother I never had. Blessed to love him 40 years My whole being trembles at the thought of losing him I weave Love within these tears ☆●●♡●●♡●●☆ ~Christi Michaels~April 2015~ Copyright © 2015 Christi Michaels. All Rights Reserved. ♡●♡●♡●♡    Ode to Joe   ♡●♡●♡●♡ This poem was written upon Joe entering Hospice. His sisters provided Constant Vigil and Loving Care. Joe passed on 8-15-2015 This was read at Joes Military Burial Fort Snelling National Cemetery Fort Snelling, Minnesota 8-31-2015

♡ Ode to Joe ♡
My world! My beautiful world! Your mouths are endless fountains of profound shouts and I have seen the things you breathe in man's hearts and I've tried to tell my brothers that they're lies, But we keep letting your voices in every time. My world told me that poetry was supposed to be my only thing And my only way of expressing my inner me. It told me lies about who I was and how I should think. It told me that I need to write like I bleed this ink. My God! I don't want anyone else to think that I'm still in love with me! You are the only thing I want to see And your hope has grounded me by your streams! I'm in love with you and how you fill up my dreams! I'm not an aching, brooding, bleeding, receding, deceiving Deceasing, cheating, repeating voice with a black heart beating. I am your son! I don't know how you allow the dust of the earth To be rebirth into your arms and claim you as a father! My voice was always meant to be singing love songs to you. Recently I've been dying to sing again. I want you to know that When I go that I just wanted to hold my God's hand And dance with him forever. I want you to know that When I go that I honored my father with my lips And used my fiery tongue to bless and encourage.

Back to Basics
My friend is an amazing poet! You see, I never knew Till recently when he showed me a piece While we were out for a tea date that was way overdue We used to talk about everything and anything My friend and I, we have many things in common We'll talk about Star Wars, music, movies, TV shows, shoes Even books from James Clemens But we stopped hanging out a while back Even though we still see each other daily We hardly talked, we drifted apart We were so busy but I did miss him greatly One day I noticed that he had this vacant look in his eyes And I knew that he must be troubled For although he was smiling at everyone I felt this urge to look out and catch him if he stumbled So after bugging him for a gazillion time That we needed to catch up He finally agreed to go out for tea Where we talked with no one to interrupt We talked and talked like we used to Time passed slowly as our cups of tea and cigarette butts cluttered the table Then he showed me a poem he had written Which left me speechless and looking at my new idol Wow! He sure can write His writing is so inspiring it touches the soul I felt ashamed sitting next to someone such as he Someone who could turn his words into gold So I would like to thank him for sharing this part of his life with me I know my poem can never be as good as his has been But hopefully he'll find this pleasing Thank You Ryn!!!!

My Friend
I could never be a poet, I don't seem to have a way with words. They don't flow like a river... Or come to me on a breeze... I just stumble upon them, Purely by mistake. I could never be a poet, Because my work is just for me. Call me selfish...or stupid... To both I would agree, Because I seem to spout stupidity, And I keep it all to me... I could never be a poet, My words are not beautiful nor smart, So I look to you in awe, Your words drifting along, Fitting together perfectly... Because you, my friend, are a Poet.
